In this paper we present the development and evolution of a guided mentorship programadministered by the ESP mentors over the first two years of this program, in which eight studentsreceived support during Year 1 (Cohort A) and an additional eleven students were supported inYear 2 (Cohort B). Findings from Years 1 and 2 will be used to support additional considerationsas this program matures and prepares for the transfer of FCC students to a four-year institution tocomplete their engineering degree.MethodsWe distinguish Years 1 and 2 of the ESP program by their discernibly different approaches tomentorship.

Project COMPLETE aligns with the National Science Board’srecommendations to create more STW opportunities for Americans by a) promoting the messagethat skilled technical work can lead to many educational and career pathways, and b) addressinglocal workforce needs through partnerships among a two-year college, university, K-12 schools,and industry partners [2].To build the STW in Louisiana, Career and Technical Education (CTE) plays an important rolein K-12 education.

their eventual job choice and the process that lead them to that choice. The JobSearch Survey, distributed to Fellows 3-6 months after graduation, is focused on collecting datarelated to the following: a) how Fellow’s experience in their doctoral program influenced theircareer plans and decisions; b) how their experience as a Fellow in the H-AGEP program influencetheir career plans and decisions; c) what career options did they initially consider, did their careergoals change over time and if so, what factors influenced changes to those career decisions; andd) were academic careers at community colleges a consideration in those decisions. Three Fellowshave completed this survey so far, and we anticipate providing a richer analysis of the data

Programs may need to spend more time with students revisiting their academic plans and provide assurances for pathways to completion, counseling them for academic success, and coordinating academic resources such as tutoring and mentoring to facilitate confidence in completion.Next StepsThe next steps for this project include administering a survey with instructors(planned for May 2021). We ask instructors many of the same questions we askedstudents to gain their perspective. Please see Appendix B for the full InstructorQuestionnaire. While the
